Not to worry, I have a halogen desk lamp that I can rob the iron/copper transformer from.
Good call...! Trying to rectify the output from a halogen transformer is fraught with problems. In addition to the points above, they won't output any voltage until they are loaded. Therefore, you would need to introduce a load on the AC output, before rectification...
